How much personal financing to disclose in an application 08 Sep 2016, 22:22

Hi there,

Is there a strategy to get considered for merit fellowships given how I fill out the financing the MBA piece? I will not be sponsored and CAN self-finance but obviously would love some assistance from the school. Is there any reason to denote some personal loans to ease the process as opposed to doing 100% self-funded?

Curious if there's a strategy here!

Thanks,
TC

Hi! As far as what to disclose in your application, be honest. It should not affect your admissions chances. So if you plan to use some personal funds and take some loans, you can show that intended split. As far as a strategy for financing your degree, I'm really not an expert on that, but recommend you reach out to our partners at M7 Financial if you want to find out more:
